[Asda said that the restructuring could also see
1,100 store management roles being
given a new grocery delivery focus.
The chain's chief executive, Roger Burnley, said:
"The pandemic has accelerated change
across the retail sector especially the shift
towards grocery home shopping and our
priority is to serve customers in the
way they want to shop with us.
"The last 12 months have shown us that
businesses have to be prepared to adapt
quickly to change and I am incredibly
proud of the way we demonstrated our
agility and resilience through the pandemic.
"We know that these proposed changes will
be unsettling for colleagues and our priority
is to support them during this consultation process.
"Our plans to transform the business will
result in more roles being created than
those we propose to remove and our
absolute aim is to ensure as many colleagues
as possible stay with us, as well as creating
the opportunity to welcome new people
to our business."]
